Training

Comprehensive Training Services

We either come to you or we run online, one off or a set of workshops, for groups of participants or individuals.

We provide meaningful, memorable, relevant training for students or staff.  Our experienced facilitators will help participants understand the theory behind good communication and how to apply this in their daily work.

Learning outcomes are linked to professional codes of conduct, organisational values and government health care and social care priorities. We work with highly skilled and trained actor role players, also known as simulated patients, to create real-to-life scenarios which provide opportunity for live skill rehearsal in situations with a specific focus on developing interpersonal and communications skills.

The actor role players portray patients, relatives, colleagues and staff within scenarios, which we write and design to meet the client organisations’ learning outcomes. We translate real situations and patient/colleague stories into scenarios.

Hear from our clients

I have a fear of public speaking and social anxiety in big groups, but the facilitator, the actors and the group made it really easy for me to feel comfortable and be able to share in such a public and vulnerable way, so thank you so much.

Consultant Anaesthetist

It has been a pleasure working with the team in every way from the very first point of contact in their welcoming, ‘can do’ and collaborative approach, to their attention to detail in organising and planning sessions and overall professionalism. They are highly skilled at what they do and very responsive in developing sessions to meet a range of communication training needs. Many staff feel daunted at the prospect of using simulation in this way but their expert facilitation and quality of actors enables them to put staff at ease and provide a very positive learning experience.

See how we can help your team

We hope that it helps you to see that some training is applicable to all staff in health and social care and some training is more specific and applicable to those who are working directly in the clinical environment.
